Django testing sprint at Tel-Aviv University and online (IRC), on Sunday, August 17, 2008, 10:00 (UTC+03) ¶
We'll be holding a Django testing sprint at School of Computer Science at Tel-Aviv University, Schreiber building, room 309, on Sunday, August 17, 2008. See map. If attendees are interested, we can also carry the sprint over to Monday.
Update: Please note that the room has changed to 309
This sprint will focus on testing the 1.0-rc release (see 1.0 roadmap). More details will be posted here and announced on django-dev as we get closer to the sprint.
See announcement in Whatsup (the local portal; Hebrew), and discussion on Python-IL (mailing-list; English; gatewayed to Gmane, IIRC?).
What's a sprint? How do I participate? ¶
See Sprints for information about how sprints work, how you can participate, etc.
Anybody, anywhere around the world, can participate and contribute. We'll be gathering in person in Tel-Aviv, but if you can't make it you can also participate through IRC. Knowing python really helps; here's a simple tutorial.
This sprint will examine the behavior of Django players to test if 1.0 release candidate is ready. We will focus on two types of users: first timers and experienced users. First timers can either show up or use IRC to get instant help from the experts.
Tasks for experienced Django users ¶
- Refactoring an existing project to 1.0 rc
- Start a fresh project on top of 1.0 rc
- Set up a day of work with a friend and help her as she learns django 1.0 rc
For the less experienced ¶
- We'll give Q&D introductions to Python, Web programming, etc, if beginners want any.
- We'll study Django (critically, in-depth), mapping the territory, "using the source, Luke", experimenting, and telling the world about it all.
- Gain experience in using lots and lots of tools while working...
And, of course, all must have fun. This is absolutely required.
Attendance ¶
Do come! And bring your geeky friends, too. T'will be a great opportunity to learn, discuss and code with some kick-ass Django and Python experts. (Well, at least one. ;o) And lots of fun!
